HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!


Happy New Year Everybody! I hope you all had a great year and this year brings peace and happiness to everyone.

Just wondering, How was your New Year?

We've tried something new to celebrate the New Year with a bang. So, I spent my New Year on the Mall of Asia watching concert and watching the MOA's 15-minute Grand Fireworks show*! We welcome the 2012 with colorful lights is the sky! Very impressive. 'twas my first time to see a massive number of fireworks display and also my first time to celebrate new year inside a FIVE STAR Hotel in Manila @The Heritage Hotel Manila! Sorry, I have no photos to show you at this time.

Ocean Adventure

The trip I mentioned here is my kids' educational fieldtrip at Subic Ocean Adventure last, last Sunday. Omg! I'm posting this so late -.-" shame on me!

Anyhow, It was already 6:00 A.M. when we left Taguig City. Our bus was attended by other student, of course; their school teachers and our tour guide Ate Eds. As expected, the tour-guide educated the kids and the parents with trivia about those places we passed by. Subic is less than a 3 hour drive from Manila using the SCTEX road.


Ocean Adventure is located at the edge of Subic Bay in the Philippines. Surrounded by pristine jungle which runs down to the golden sandy beaches it is a 'must visit' for anyone on holiday on Luzon island in the Philippines. The beaches of Subic Bay are the nearest 'clean water' to Manila. It is clean too, crystal clear and mainly sheltered, making the area an ideal place to dive or snorkle.

Ocean Adventure is proud to announce a most exciting program - Dive with the Whales. There’s no other like it in the world.

Ocean Adventure is now 10 years!

Ocean Adventure is Southeast Asia's only open-water marine park, a unique marine park, is now open in Subic Bay with some of the world's most beautiful mammals - dolphins, whales and sea lions - in their natural habitat. Come in to the water and swim and play with the false killer whales.




You will also get a chance to witness a spectacular display of mammal behavior with the dolphin, false killer whale and sea lion shows staged in open water amidst a beautiful horizon of blue sea and mountain ranges.


The False Killer Whales made a real amusing exhibition in diving up and down the down the sea and doing so many fantastic and sometimes even funny moves like throwing the trainer off and on the water.



After taking some pictures of the fish, we headed to the first show in our list which was the Sea Lion Marine Patrol. We were greeted by Brandy, a very talented Sea Lion. The show is a big hit to the kids and was also entertaining to adults like me, especially during the showdown of the Sea Lion and a very game volunteer.


A photo and video service is available to capture this once-in-lifetime encounter.

Second stop is The Adventures of Olongapo Jones show. I had fun watching because it was entertaining. It feels like I was a kid again.

Thanks girl, for being my photographer that day :)


I should say the Ocean Adventure Park is a nice place to go to. Not only are their shows entertaining but educational as well. I like their being environmental friendly and I admire their effort to promote and teach conservation of environment to their guests.

It’s two days to go before Christmas, are you done with your Christmas shopping? I'm not done my holiday shopping yet. I still have a few people left to buy for, so...

1. AF-S Nikkor 70-300mm f4.5-5.6G VR
2. 11” Fluorescent Pink Satchel
3. Jeffrey Campbell Lita Galaxy
4. A bunch of Pink Roses

Fur-fect Combination

TODAY, I will just stay home... it's the time to clean up my closet because my room is in a total mess since I started to work. Sigh! So, where are you guys heading later?



I love anything with fur on and fur is a huge trend today. They tend to look very fashionable with various kinds of short dresses, skirts, or skin tight pants. People love fur for many different reasons. For one, it is absolutely timeless; it never goes out of style and can maintain its beauty even when other fashion trends come and go.




I bought this fur shoes online not so long ago. But, I’m having a hard time looking for a dress to wear it with until this bohemian style long sleeve dress come along. This dress has a fur ball details also, and I'm so happy that the detail goes perfectly well with the detail of my shoes! Hey, the title says it all! Despite the beauty of this shoes, haven’t actually worn them out on my daily wear.

A closer look to my shoes and dress:

High Waisted

IT WAS AN ORDINARY day and we decided to drive a bit far away to make it feel special. If you haven’t noticed already I love to shoot my outfit photos in a place like this! The surroundings just enhanced the color and the over all feel. I'll get much better results.

Oh well, my outfit today was nothing fancy, I was just trying to stay as comfy and carefree as possible, something I didn't achieve. My latest discovery is this high-waist short, it fits me perfectly (i think) and the price was absolutely amazing! :)
Alright, goodnight.. I need to sleep now! Muahhh!

Start the Day Right: Fruits that Make You Beautiful

FRUITS are important part of our nutrition, you can eliminate cellulite only if you eat lots and lots of fruits daily. Eating fruit the first thing in the morning will provide your body with energy; this absorbed energy will consist entirely of sugars. That's why I decided to start eating fruits early in the day. If I got off to a good start with fruit for breakfast, then I were more likely to reach my goal.



And today I squeeze more fruits into my diet/beauty secret with these healthy, delicious KIWI, PLUM and GRAPES Yum! Yum!

Kiwi - substantially richer in vitamin C than oranges and contain more fiber than apple.
Plum - the super fruit; high in anti-oxidant and to prevent early wrinkles. There's a saying that a plum a day keeps a facelift away.
Grapes -high in antioxidants and they contain the vitamins A, B and C, as well as thirteen minerals essential to human life.

Anime Inspired

IT'S DECEMBER once again and Christmas is just around the corner. Have you started shopping for gifts? If not, you better start now, so you will not have to worry about the Christmas rush.

About my outfit, it is an Anime inspired school-girl uniform. Japanese school girl outfits are very cool and it's very kawaii (that's Japanese for cute)! They often wear plaid and pleated skirts in a variety of patterns. Tartan patterns are very popular. Needless to say, girls like their skirts to be very short, like my DIY skirt that I'm wearing! I can't find any sailor like top, so I ended up with this one ( I just love the color combo, tee hee)! Knee length socks sit just below the knee, and seem to be an essential part of most Japanese official school uniforms. Japanese girls love to decorate their hair with accessories: bandanas, headbands, large flowers or ribbons. How cool is that, huh? Japan has the sexiest school uniform and remains as one of the most popular outfits for Halloween costume!!!

Flower Lover

SO, I FINALLY wore it... my beautiful floral maxi dress. I must say tho, I´ve never been a maxi person, not even since then. I feel a bit uncomfortable in it, because I’ve gotten the idea that I look stupid in it and that it doesn’t suit me at all, maybe I'm too small for maxi dresses. But the color of the flower in it caught my eyes. I told you.. I'm a flower lover! My life is not complete without flower!

And, by the way... sorry for the bad quality of my photos today! I can't figure out what's wrong, it's either my Dslr's settings or the person who took these pictures, lol... (sorry cuz, you should practice more! hehe)!

I was in a rush... so, 'till here! Have a great day, everyone!

Denim on Denim

HI EVERYONE! Hows your day going? Mine was kicking ass - it's hard for me to get up 6am everyday, but I need to work, ugh!. Often, my most productive hours are between midnight and 2 or 3AM. By midmorning I'm sleepy, and by late afternoon it's torture trying to stay awake! I'm one of those rare people who can survive on less than five hours of sleep but I started noticing that my eye bags are barely visible and the creepy fine wrinkles look perfect. I should get enough of zzz's, but that's impossible now... why?.. Hmmm.... I want to tell you why but it would take me too long or perhaps be too boring to explain. Lol!

Actually, I don't get any eye bags and dark circles even I don't often get enough of sleep since then. But this morning, when I just woke up there is pain under my eye and I noticed this horrible eye bags! OMG, Super un-attractive! I hope it will be gone by next morning!

Anyway... here's my outfit of day with my new eye bags... Yay!! :(
